Presentation Overview

Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) is a industry initiative to facilitate business via the Internet. The purpose of this effort is two-fold: develop a standard set of APIs for describing and discovering web-based services; and bootstrap an implementation of those standards so that real-world usage can begin immediately. Please join us for a overview and technical discussion of UDDI with 2 IBMers who have been instrumental in the creation and development of UDDI.
